I expect it will fail to outshine the -5n in any department that matters to me. Well, you may find manual focusing easier with the Super A, compared to the 5n, even though the Super A does not exactly have the best focus screen that Pentax ever made. Fred

Super Program winding tightly

2003-10-03 Thread Amita Guha
The last few times I've used my Super Program, it seemed that it wound the film awfully tight, making it difficult to advance the film. It didn't do this when I first got the camera. Is there anything I can do to prevent this or do I need to take it for a CLA? Thanks, Amita
